big picture works great on any linux distro, why would i want anything more?
It works* on any Linux distro. Definitely not great.
A gaming-focused, curated experience that just works™️
With a little know how you can get 99% of the way there with any arch based distro, but installing a new OS for non techies can be pretty intimidating. Having Valve's assurance that it works with all common hardware would help more people take the plunge, I think.
If the reduction in overhead, or any other optimizations it might offer, increases performance even more, I might go out of my way to set up a multi-boot.
Big picture mode runs like complete shit for me no matter what I do
